Kings I 18
1 [And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
et factum est cum conplesset loqui ad Saul anima Ionathan conligata est animae David et dilexit eum Ionathan quasi animam suam
2 [And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
tulitque eum Saul in die illa et non concessit ei ut reverteretur in domum patris sui
3 [And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
inierunt autem Ionathan et David foedus diligebat enim eum quasi animam suam
4 [And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
nam expoliavit se Ionathan tunicam qua erat vestitus et dedit eam David et reliqua vestimenta sua usque ad gladium et arcum suum et usque ad balteum
5 [And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
egrediebatur quoque David ad omnia quaecumque misisset eum Saul et prudenter se agebat posuitque eum Saul super viros belli et acceptus erat in oculis universi populi maximeque in conspectu famulorum Saul
6 And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
porro cum reverteretur percusso Philistheo David egressae sunt mulieres de universis urbibus Israhel cantantes chorosque ducentes in occursum Saul regis in tympanis laetitiae et in sistris
7 And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
et praecinebant mulieres ludentes atque dicentes percussit Saul mille et David decem milia
8 And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
iratus est autem Saul nimis et displicuit in oculis eius iste sermo dixitque dederunt David decem milia et mihi dederunt mille quid ei superest nisi solum regnum
9 [And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
non rectis ergo oculis Saul aspiciebat David ex die illa et deinceps
10 [And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
post diem autem alteram invasit spiritus Dei malus Saul et prophetabat in medio domus suae David autem psallebat manu sua sicut per singulos dies tenebatque Saul lanceam
11 [And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
et misit eam putans quod configere posset David cum pariete et declinavit David a facie eius secundo
12 And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
et timuit Saul David eo quod esset Dominus cum eo et a se recessisset
13 And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
amovit ergo eum Saul a se et fecit eum tribunum super mille viros et egrediebatur et intrabat in conspectu populi
14 And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
in omnibus quoque viis suis David prudenter agebat et Dominus erat cum eo
15 And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
vidit itaque Saul quod prudens esset nimis et coepit cavere eum
16 And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
omnis autem Israhel et Iuda diligebat David ipse enim egrediebatur et ingrediebatur ante eos
17 [And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
dixit autem Saul ad David ecce filia mea maior Merob ipsam dabo tibi uxorem tantummodo esto vir fortis et proeliare bella Domini Saul autem reputabat dicens non sit manus mea in eo sed sit super illum manus Philisthinorum
18 [And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
ait autem David ad Saul quis ego sum aut quae est vita mea aut cognatio patris mei in Israhel ut fiam gener regis
19 [But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
factum est autem tempus cum deberet dari Merob filia Saul David data est Hadrihel Molathitae uxor
20 And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
dilexit autem Michol filia Saul altera David et nuntiatum est Saul et placuit ei
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
dixitque Saul dabo eam illi ut fiat ei in scandalum et sit super eum manus Philisthinorum dixit ergo Saul ad David in duabus rebus gener meus eris hodie
22 And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
et mandavit Saul servis suis loquimini ad David clam me dicentes ecce places regi et omnes servi eius diligunt te nunc ergo esto gener regis
23 And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honourable?
et locuti sunt servi Saul in auribus David omnia verba haec et ait David num parum vobis videtur generum esse regis ego autem sum vir pauper et tenuis
24 And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
et renuntiaverunt servi Saul dicentes huiuscemodi verba locutus est David
25 And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
dixit autem Saul sic loquimini ad David non habet necesse rex sponsalia nisi tantum centum praeputia Philisthinorum ut fiat ultio de inimicis regis porro Saul cogitabat tradere David in manibus Philisthinorum
26 And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
cumque renuntiassent servi eius David verba quae diximus placuit sermo in oculis David ut fieret gener regis
27 And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck amongst the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
et post dies paucos surgens David abiit cum viris qui sub eo erant et percussis Philisthim ducentis viris adtulit praeputia eorum et adnumeravit ea regi ut esset gener eius dedit itaque ei Saul Michol filiam suam uxorem
28 And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
et vidit Saul et intellexit quia Dominus esset cum David Michol autem filia Saul diligebat eum
29 And he was yet more afraid of David.
et Saul magis coepit timere David factusque est Saul inimicus David cunctis diebus
30 [And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honoured exceedingly. ]
et egressi sunt principes Philisthinorum a principio autem egressionis eorum prudentius se gerebat David quam omnes servi Saul et celebre factum est nomen eius nimis
